The Spring Festival is coming soon, but even in these last few days, it is difficult to stop. Along with the peak shipments, there are also exploding containers and dumping, the warehouses are full, the port area is congested, drivers are hard to find, trucks are hard to find, and it is hard to drop off a box. Container fees have risen sharply...
As many factories have to deliver goods before the end of the year, the terminals continue to operate at full capacity and the incoming port is congested, seriously affecting the normal entry and exit of goods.
In addition, the approaching Spring Festival has led to a shortage of driver resources, which has significantly affected the export trailer business, and land transportation prices will also rise accordingly. In just five days, trailer freight rates soared to 300%, making shipping arrangements increasingly difficult.
Not only domestically, port congestion has become a global problem. Towing services cover all logistics links such as before the port, in the port, and after the port. How to find a reliable towing team is an important factor in ensuring the safe arrival of goods.
Difficulty dropping the box
At the same time, the difficulty of unboxing has made the problem worse. It is understood that in addition to the tension at ports in the Pearl River Delta region, Ningbo Port has also experienced the embarrassing situation of containers being dropped off before the port is opened, and containers being dropped off even when the port is opened.
Some boxes that opened the port on the 18th were prohibited from entering the port on the afternoon of the 19th, and the original entry time was until the 20th.
Netizens reported that this is a routine operation of the shipping company. Every year, in order to prevent the shipping company from emptying its ships during the annual holiday, a large number of containers are collected, causing the container drop-off yard at the dock to be overwhelmed and the cabinets to pile up like a mountain. Not to mention the Beilun box drop-off and storage yard.
At present, people familiar with the matter have reported that they have confirmed through phone calls that more than 4,000 boxes have actually flooded into the original 1,300 cabins. Boxes installed before the year may even be delayed until after the year.
Recent delays in shipping schedules and concentrated shipments before the year have resulted in a serious backlog of temporarily unloaded boxes. It is recommended that everyone make sure there is a shipping date before making the box, so as to minimize unnecessary unpacking....
Ship companies suspend sailings in large numbers
The latest cancellation tracking data from Drewry shows that during the next five weeks in Week 4 (January 20 to January 26) and Week 8 (February 17 to February 23), on the main Of the 751 scheduled voyages on east-west routes from the Pacific, transatlantic and Asia to Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, shipping companies announced the cancellation of a total of 109 voyages, a cancellation rate of 15%.
During this period, 49% of blank sailings will occur on eastbound transpacific routes, 17% on westbound transatlantic routes, and 34% on Asia-North Europe and Mediterranean routes.
Drewry said blank sailings were expected to disrupt the container shipping industry, leading to longer transit times and more empty loads as Chinese New Year and the transition to new alliance services complicate supply chains.
The editor would like to remind cargo owners and freight forwarders to confirm the shipping date and reasonably plan the shipment plan before making boxes to reduce operational risks.
